BST India announces new launches

These products are part of a new series named Novo. The entire Novo series to be launched in the coming months, which also includes a tension controller (Novosmart) and an amplifier (Novoboost).

Priti Vishwakarma, marketing manager, BST India, said, “Novosense is a strain gauge-based load cell known for its excellent handling and linearity performance. It features robust surface protection through nickel plating.”

It is designed to measure web tension on most types of web processing machinery used in converting, plastic film, printing, textile and other industries. 

The loadcel has some innovative features like self-aligning bearings and nickel-plated surface ensuring maximum protection. It also comes with a noise-immune output and offers up to tenfold overloading making it versatile for tension measurement for almost all kinds of web material.

“Our Novotorque pneumatic brake is designed to increase the effectiveness and efficiency. As brakes are considered a commodity in our segment, we had to think outside the box. Our experience and feedback from the maintenance engineer helped us to keep the Novotorque ahead of its competitors,” she added.

Novotorque has a specialised disc and fan ventilation system which allows the pneumatic brake to operate at higher temperatures. Its temperature measurement sensor increases the fan speed proportional to the internal temperature which helps prevent overheating of brake components that can compromise tension consistency. It has almost zero maintenance requirements for spare parts. 

Novotorque uses high-quality components reducing pad wear and minimising dust emissions. This ensures a long working life and minimises downtime.
